1 Quizzes Tool Use the Quizzes tool to manage quizzes that you have created, copied, or imported; manage questions using the question library; preview, organize, and grade your quizzes; view quizzes by category or availability; view current, future, and past quizzes; view course and quiz statistics; create categories and place your quizzes in them. To access the Quizzes tool 1. From your course home page, click the Quizzes link in the course navigation bar. The Manage Quizzes page displays. Manage Quizzes Quiz Overview: Creating quizzes for your course involves a series of steps. Each of these steps is described in greater detail in the sections that follow. The basic procedures can be broken down into the following parts: 1. Create your quiz questions. You can create questions in either (A) the Question Library, or (B) by importing them from a text file, Respondus, or other quiz software. 2. Create a quiz by: (A) Defining a quiz name and general properties, (B) establishing

2 the quiz restrictions, (C) establishing the quiz attempts, (D) establishing the quiz reports, and (D) adding questions to your quiz and setting up a quiz layout. 3. Preview the quiz. o o While it is also possible to create quiz questions from within a quiz, rather than in the Question Library, it is strongly recommended that you create all of your questions in the Library and then add them to your quizzes. Also Note Use the Question Library to insert random questions into a quiz. Random sections pull their questions from the Library. When creating a quiz, you can specify a list of questions from which the D2L system will randomly choose questions for each student that takes the quiz. Question Library The Question Library is a central repository for your quiz questions. When you create questions in the Question Library you can reuse them in any number of quizzes. Using the Question Library and this feature helps you to avoid tedious re-inputting of questions. To access the Question Library from the main Quizzes page: Click the Question Library icon. The Question Library page displays. There are three ways to populate your question library with quiz questions:

3 1. Create questions within the Question Library or from within a quiz (see the Creating Quiz Questions section). 2. Import questions using Desire2Learn's text format file (see the Importing Questions from a Text File section). 3. Import questions using Respondus software or basic course import (see the Importing Quiz Questions from Respondus or Basic Course Import section). Managing Questions and Sections in the Question Library Sections are like file folders in your Question Library. They help you to organize your questions. You might choose to create a "multiple choice" section that includes all of your multiple choice questions, or a section containing all questions related to a specific topic. Sections are also helpful when you are creating a quiz. Instead of importing questions one at a time, you can import a whole section of questions into a quiz at once. To create a New Section in the Question Library: Select Section from the Create New drop-down list and click Go. For further information, refer to Creating Quiz Sections. To create a New Question in the Question Library: Select the applicable question type from the Create New drop-down list and click Go. For further information, refer to Creating Quiz Questions. After you have created or imported quiz sections and questions, you can then manage them in the Question Library. The following options are displayed at the top of the Question Library page once you have created sections or questions: Hide - Used to removed the section sidebar from view. Import - Use to import questions from an existing quiz or text file. Create New Question or Section drop-down list - See Creating Quiz Sections / Creating Quiz Questions. Move - (Appears when you have added and selected questions or sections.) Delete - (Appears when you have added and selected questions/sections.) Order - (Appears when you have added and selected questions/sections.)

Select a Header Display option from the drop-down list. This feature controls how the links along the top of the Question Library are displayed. Text and Icons : show both the text and icons for each link (for example, ). Text Only : shows only the text for each link (for example, ). Icons Only : shows only the icons for each link (for example, ). 4. Check View Questions in Popup if you want questions to open in a new window when you click on them, rather than opening in the main Question Library page. Also, from the main Question Library page, you have the following options: 1. Select the View Question icon beside a question to see how it will appear in a quiz, how it will be marked, feedback comments, and where this question is used. You can also quickly enter the question-edit area by clicking the Edit icon. 2. Click the Edit icon beside a question or click on the question title to make changes to the question. 3. Click the Edit icon beside a section to make changes to the section. 4. Click Edit Values to change the mark and difficultly values for your questions. Click Save to update your changes. Note The Difficulty level feature is primarily a tool instructors can use to organize and compare questions. For example, after assigning a specific difficulty value to a number of questions you can sort and view the questions by their assigned difficulty value to ensure consistency. Creating Quiz Questions 1. Select the Question Library icon on the quizzes homepage. Or, 2. From within a quiz, select the Layout/Questions tab and then click Add/Edit Questions. 3. To start creating quiz questions, select the applicable question type from the Create New drop-down list and click Go.

6 Note It is strongly recommended that you create all your quiz questions from within the Question Library. This gives you the ability to reuse questions on various quizzes and to create random sections within quizzes. mporting Questions Questions created offline can be imported from a text format file, or from Respondus or basic course import. Importing Quiz Questions from a Text File Quiz questions can be created offline using Desire2Learn s text format file. Follow the steps below to access a template for creating the text file. If you have already created your questions offline using the template and would like to use them to populate the question library: 1. Select the Quizzes link on your course home navigation bar. 2. Click on the Question Library icon ( ) on the Quizzes main page. 3. From with the question library, click the Import button. 4. From the Import Source drop-down list, select From a Desire2Learn Text Format File: 5. If you simply want to download the text file to begin creating your questions, select the CSV Sample File link and Save the file on your computer. 6. To upload a question file you have already completed, click Browse and locate the file you want upload to the question library. Click Open. 7. Click Save. Importing Questions from Respondus or Basic Course Import Respondus is a software application commonly used to create questions offline. When using this software to import your questions into D2L, the following tips may be useful to you: 8. Within the Respondus application, and before either opening an existing quiz or starting a new one, ensure that the IMS QTI Personality is selected from the Current Personality drop-down list under the Start tab. 9. If you are attempting to convert an existing Respondus file from WebCT or Blackboard, you will need to convert it to QTI before importing it into D2L. It is recommended that you save this new file under a new file name if you wish to keep the quiz file under the original personality for future use. 10. Save your changes. 11. Login to Desire2Learn and go to your course. 12. Click on the Content link on your course home navigation bar. 13. Select Import Course link on the right side of the page. 14. Browse and retrieve the QTI file you created in Respondus. 15. Click Next. The system will indicate when the upload is complete.

7 The imported quiz will be in the list of quizzes. For further information on importing a Respondus 2.0 quiz into D2L, see the Instructor Learning Aid Importing Respondus 2.0 Quiz into D2l, available on the D2L Community website ( Quiz questions can also be uploaded to the D2L Question Library from WebCT and Blackboard course import files: 16. Click on the Content link on your course home navigation bar. 17. Select Import Course on the right side of the page. 18. Browse and retrieve the course import file. 19. Click Next. The system will indicate the step-by-step process of uploading your quiz questions to the question library. The system will indicate when the upload is complete. Random Question Sets Inserting a random section into a quiz ensures that each user will receive a unique set of questions. The random section pulls from a designated pool of questions stored in the Question Library. It is important to note that you must import questions that have already been created elsewhere into a random section; you cannot create questions within the random section, nor can you move questions into this section. After selecting the questions from the library, you can specify how many questions from the random question pool each student should see. The random section will then randomly select this number of questions for each student that takes the quiz. This feature guarantees that each student will receive a unique quiz with different questions. You must create a quiz before adding a random set of questions. Since random sections can only contain questions from the question library, it is important that you create questions in the Question Library before you create a quiz. You can then import the questions into the random section folder. There are no limits to the number or type of questions in a random quiz. Creating a Random Section Folder 20. Select the quiz you would like to add random questions to. 21. Select the Layout/Questions tab. 22. Click Add/Edit Questions. 23.

Note Additional question features shared by most questions are described in the Common Features of All Question Types section, above. Multi Short-Answer Question (MSA) The answers provided by a respondent for a MSA question are checked against each answer box. This question type allows instructors to create a question such as, "Name 3 state capitals" and create 3 input boxes and 51 potential answers so that the student can enter any 3 answers in any answer box and receive full marks. This question type differs from the Short Answer Question in that the short answer question supports multiple answer boxes, but requires distinct answer lists for each answer box. 1.

14 Fill in the Blanks Question 8. Assign a Point value and a Difficulty level for the question. 9. Enter the text that appears before the first blank in the first text field. 10. Choose your blank size in the drop-down list. 11. If you want to add more answers, click the icon ( ) beside Add Answer. 12. Assign a Weight (%) to each answer. The answer Weight (%) is a percentage of the assigned Point value for the question. For example, if the question has a Point value of 3, and the question contains 3 answers with a Weight (%) of 33.33% each, then each question is worth 1 point. (Each answer is worth 1/3 of the question's Point value.) Note D2L recommends that the total weight of your answers equals 100%, but this is not required. For example, if the question has a Point value of 3, and the question contains 3 answers with a Weight (%) of 50%, 100%, and 33.33%, then the first answer is worth 1.5 points (50% of the question's Point value of 3), the second answer is worth 3 (100% of the question's Point value of 3), and the third answer is worth 1 (33.33% of the question's Point value of 3). Therefore, if the student answers all the answers correctly, the total points awarded for the question would be Enter the text that appears after the first blank in the next text field. 14. If you want to add more text and blank options, click icon ( ) beside Add Text or Add Blank. Note When creating a survey adding answers is not required. Note Additional question features shared by most questions are described in the Common Features of All Question Types section, above. Multi-Select Question Use multi-select questions to have students identify several correct answers out of a list of possible answers. Example Identify all of the prime numbers in the following list: 1, 2, 6, 9, 10, 13, Assign a point value and a difficulty level. 16. Enter your Question Text in the text box. 17. If you would like to use an image in the question, use Find to locate a course image in the course files, or click Browse to upload one. 18. Use the drop-down list to choose an enumeration style. 19. Choose a display style. 20. Choose a marking format: All or nothing: Students receive full points for the question only if they select all of the correct answers and none of the incorrect answers. Students receive zero points if they miss any correct answers or select any incorrect answers. Right minus wrong: Students receive points equal to the number of right answers they choose minus the number of incorrect answers they choose. For example, if each answer is worth one point and a student selects 3 correct answers and 1 incorrect answer, they will receive 2 points for the question (3 minus 1).

15 Note To determine how much each answer is worth, the system takes the total number of points that the question is worth and divides it by the number of correct answers. For example, if a question is worth 4 points and has two correct answers, each correct answer will be worth 2 points, and each incorrect answer will be worth -2 points (students receive a minimum of zero on a question: they cannot receive a negative mark). Right answers: Students receive points for each correct answer they select and for incorrect answers they leave blank. Incorrect answers selected and correct answers left blank are ignored. Example Consider a question with a total of six potential answers, two answers being correct (in this case, choices a) and b) are the correct choices). The total points available for this question is 4. If a student answers (where check indicates a filled check box): a)check b)check c) d) e) f) They have answered all 6 questions correctly and get full marks: 4 points. If they answer: a)check b) c)check d) e) f) They have answered 4/6 correctly and therefore receive a mark of 4/6 * 4 = points. If they answer: a)check b)check c)check d)check e) f) They have answered 3/6 correctly and therefore receive a mark of 3/6 * 4 = 2 points. 21. Check the Randomize options box to display the answers in random order to each student. 22. Type the answer options in the Options text boxes. Click Add Option to add more answer options, or click Remove to delete extra options. 23. Check the boxes in the Correct column beside each of the correct answer options.

16 Note: A checkbox labelled None of the other options will automatically be added to every multi-select question in a quiz. If none of the answers to a multi-select question are checked as correct when the question is created, then the None of the other options choice will be considered the correct answer. Students are unable to have the None of the other options box and other answer boxes checked at the same time. If no boxes are checked by a student the question is considered unanswered. Note Additional question features shared by most questions are described in the Common Features of All Question Types section, above. Matching Question 24. Assign a point value and a difficulty level. 25. Enter your Question Text in the text box. 26. Choose a display style. 27. Choose a marking format: Equally weighted, All or nothing (student must have all the possible correct answers or else they receive no marks), or Right minus wrong (the number of right answers chosen is subtracted from the number of wrong answers chosen to get an overall mark for the question). 28. Type the question choices in the text boxes. If you wish to add more choices, click the Add Choice button. 29. Type the matches in the text boxes.
